Trust Services
Temporary Ownership of Real Property - The Foundation will take temporary ownership of real property, which is
planned for parks or open space use while the future owners arrange grants, governing board approvals, or other necessary
business matters. This service allows donors to accomplish the transfer of property on a schedule appropriate to their tax or
business needs, while the recipient agency completes its work.
State regulations do not allow the use of government-owned park property as an in-kind match for park development grants.
By holding title to property during the grant review process, the Foundation makes it possible to utilize the value of the
property and maintain its eligibility for grant assistance.
The Foundation charges $100 per year to cover administrative expenses, and requires reimbursement for the direct costs of
property transfer, insurance, maintenance, and bookkeeping.
